Since 1998 my interest was captured by what some amateur radio defined  "the ultimate DX" : S.E.T.I.  
Because of  my background, both as amateur radio (Moon bounce) and student (telecommunication), is not so far from many problems involved in Search For ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence, I was encouraged to start with this particular kind of scientific research.
I am currently working to build a SETI receiving station for hydrogen line, with a good friend of mine and the precious aim of members of an amateurs astronomers association ( Urania ).  It will take part in the Project Argus promoted by Seti League, and it will be also the subject of our two graduation thesis degree.
